Chapel of St Joseph at St Cuthbert's College, Ushaw

The Chapel of St Joseph at St Cuthbert's College, Ushaw, was built between 1852 and 1854 by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin and completed by Edward Welby Pugin. The chapel is constructed from thin courses of squared sandstone, featuring an ashlar plinth and dressings. The roof is made of graduated Lakeland slate, adorned with stone gable copings and crested ridge tiles.

The chapel has a three-bay rectangular plan and is designed in a decorated style. It features cusped tracery in the two-light north and south windows, paired two-light west windows with geometric tracery, and a large five-light east window, all under a blind quatrefoil. Each window is equipped with dripmoulds. The steeply-pitched roof includes overlapping stone gable copings with gabled kneelers and stone cross finials.

Inside, the chapel has painted plaster over a panelled dado and a panelled roof with stencilled decoration supported by long stone-corbelled wall-posts. There are painted Gothic-lettered borders around the window heads. A Caen stone reredos features high-relief panels under crocketed canopies, along with an altar that has three large high-relief panels created by E. W. Pugin. To the left of the altar stands a 20-foot high canopy made of stone and marble, which supports a life-size marble statue of St. Joseph by Karl Hoffmann. The east window was designed by A. W. N. Pugin around 1851 and modified by J. H. Powell, while the remaining windows were created by Hardman. The chapel also contains a 19th-century cast-iron radiator with low-relief rosette and palmette decoration, along with a rinceau frieze.
